"Nanotechnology in agriculture promises to revolutionize the way food is grown, protected and processed, thus contributing to addressing the global challenges of food security and environmental sustainability," said the president of the National Agricultural Society (SNA), Antonio Walker, after visiting the First Nanotechnology for Agriculture Fair organized by CEDENNA.

The activity was highlighted on the SNA networks: Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin.

Anasac, in its news portal, highlighted the First Nanotechnology Fair for Agriculture, which it described as "a pioneering event that brought together prominent leaders of the agricultural sector, scientists and businessmen in a space for exchange and collaboration."

In his opinion column, Dr. Samuel Baltazar, CEDENNA researcher, addresses the center's contribution to the training of teachers in nanoscience and nanotechnology, through workshops such as ProNano and the asynchronous one that is being held during the year." Nanoscience and nanotechnology are already present and will be part of our future. It is important to combine the efforts of universities, research centers and teachers to achieve scientific literacy.

Usach al Día highlighted that with the purpose of promoting the advances that the Cedenna Center is making to face new challenges in the agricultural sector, and in seeking to establish collaborations between academia, the public sector and industry, the First Nanotechnology Fair for Agriculture, in order to achieve a more sustainable future for the country.

Today we want to highlight the opinion column of Cooperativaciencia by the Executive Director of the CEDENNA Center Dr. Juan Escrig where he gives his opinion on the contribution of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology to Chilean education, referring to the ProNano workshop.

The digital newspaper El Mostrador speaks with the executive director of CEDENNA, Dr. Juan Escrig, with whom he discusses how nanotechnology allows greater inclusion by enhancing sports performance in people with disabilities: advanced prostheses and nanometric materials are transforming their lives and sport .

In CNN's Online Futuro 360 portal, the opinion column of the Executive Director of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), Dr. Juan Escrig, was highlighted, where he gives his opinion regarding the inclusion of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the recent Games Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.

Regarding the above, Dr. Escrig made it clear that ""Carbon nanotubes present in sports equipment can be 100 times more resistant than steel with only 1/6 of their weight. And this is just the tip of the iceberg".

On the Cooperativa Ciencia portal it is highlighted that CEDENNA researchers develop a structural insulating concrete, which within the Chilean standard qualifies as nanotechnological structural and which has sufficient density to be classified as lightweight or thermal insulator.

Cooperativa Ciencia highlights CEDENNA's participation in the 2023 Science Festival, specifically in the activity organized by Congress of the Future (Futurists) and the Ministry of Science:

On Saturday, October 7, visitors will be able to become scientists for a few minutes and make their own nanoparticles, at the stand of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA in the Pueblito de Las Vizcachas in Puente Alto.

For a decade, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) has held an annual contest among its researchers to compile artistic images of the nano world, which are used for the calendars that the center creates each year and distributes for free in educational establishments around the world. the country. Now these images are part of the “Images of the Nanoworld” Exhibition that will begin a tour of different regions of the country from Arica and can be visited by the public of all ages, absolutely free of charge.
